Israeli soldiers shot, Wednesday, a young Palestinian man east of Beit Hanoun, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Media sources said the soldiers opened fire at a Palestinian, in his twenties, and injured him in the leg.

The wounded Palestinian suffered a moderate injury, and was rushed to the Indonesian Hospital, in northern Gaza.

Dozens of Palestinians also protested at night near the perimeter fence, especially east of Jabalia refugee camp, in northern Gaza, and the army fired many high-velocity gas bombs and several rounds of live ammunition.

In related news, Israel Channel 7 has reported that the army was investigating a report about a flammable balloon that “exploded next a house in the Eshkol Regional Council of Settlements, causing damage.”

Israeli soldiers injured, on Tuesday evening, four Palestinians and caused many others to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation, east of Gaza city.

Dr. Ashraf al-Qedra, the spokesperson of the Health Ministry of Gaza, said the soldiers shot four Palestinians in Malaka area, east of Gaza city, causing moderate wounds, before the medics rushed them to a local hospital.

He added that several Palestinians suffered the effects of teargas inhalation and received the needed treatment by field medics.

On Friday, February 22, the soldiers killed a child, identified as Yousef Sa’id ad-Daya, 14, and injured 41 other Palestinians, including a medic, after resorting to the excessive use of force against the Great Return March processions.

The Israeli occupation army on Tuesday morning launched a limited military incursion into Beit Hanoun town in the northern Gaza Strip.

Several Israeli military bulldozers rolled a few hundred meters into Palestinian farmlands east of Beit Hanoun, local sources said.

Meanwhile, the Israeli forces fired tear gas bombs at Palestinian farmers working in their lands east of Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army on almost a daily basis carry out military incursions into blockaded Gaza and raze Palestinian farmlands in violation of the Egypt-sponsored ceasefire agreement signed by Israel and Palestinian resistance groups in 2014.

A Ma'an reporter said that Israeli naval forces opened fire at Palestinians fishing boats within the permitted fishing zone, forcing the fishermen to head back to shore in fear for their lives.

No injuries were reported.

According to the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Israel’s blockade of the coastal enclave has seriously undermined the ability for Gazan fishermen to make a living at sea.

The Israeli army regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the unilaterally declared buffer zone.

Israeli human rights group B'Tselem recently concluded that Israel's Gaza closure and "harassment of fishermen" have been "destroying Gaza's fishing sector," with 95% of fishermen living below the poverty line.

Additionally, Local rights organization, Al-Haq, has documented many cases of Israeli aggression toward Palestinian fishermen off the Gazan coast, calling the Israel's action against the fishermen "collective punishment" that imposes "difficult economic and social conditions."

Five Palestinian citizens suffered injuries on Saturday night during renewed night confrontations with Israeli soldiers in different border areas of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Medical sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that five citizens were injured after Israeli soldiers showered them with a hail of tear gas grenades and opened fire indiscriminately at them as they were rallying at night in border areas east of Khuza’a (south of Gaza) and al-Bureij refugee camp (central Gaza).

A PIC reporter in Gaza said that dozens of young men torched tires, used loudspeakers to play national songs and sirens, and flashed laser beams at soldiers behind the border fences.

Witnesses told a Ma'an reporter said that Israeli forces opened fire, targeting Palestinian shepherds herding their sheep in the Malaka area in the eastern Gaza Strip.

No injuries were reported.

The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the buffer zone, as the authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.

The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land, and sea blockade for nearly 12 years.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in the besieged Gaza Strip has reported that Israeli soldiers killed, Friday, a child, and injured 41 other Palestinians, including a medic, after retorting to the excessive use of force against the Great Return March processions.

Dr. Ashraf al-Qedra, the spokesperson of the Health Ministry in Gaza, has reported that a child, identified as Yousef Sa’id ad-Daya, 14, suffered a life-threatening injury, after the soldiers shot him with a life round in the heart.

He said that the child’s heart stopped, and the urgent care physicians managed to revive it, but he remained in a critical condition until he

succumbed to his wounds. Yousef was from the Zeitoun neighborhood, in of Gaza city.

Dr. al-Qedra stated that the soldiers shot 26 Palestinians with live fire, and added that two other Palestinians suffered serious injuries.

One of the wounded Palestinians is a volunteer medic, identified as Fares al-Qedra, who was shot with a gas bomb in the head, east of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza Strip.

Media sources in Gaza said the soldiers fired a barrage of live rounds at random, in addition to firing high-velocity gas bombs against the protesters on Palestinian lands across the eastern parts of the coastal region, in Gaza city, Jabalia, al-Boreij refugee camp, Khan Younis and Rafah, in northern, central and southern Gaza Strip.

Israeli soldiers shot, on Wednesday evening, two Palestinians near the perimeter fence, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the coastal region.

Media sources said the soldiers, stationed across the perimeter fence, fired many live rounds at protesters on Palestinian lands, east of Khan Younis, wounding two young men in their legs, before they were rushed to Nasser Hospital in the city, suffering moderate wounds.

The soldiers also fired many high-velocity gas bombs, causing many Palestinians to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation.

In related news, Israeli army drones fired missiles into agricultural lands, a motorcycle and a structure, east of the al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza, causing property damage.

According to Israeli sources, the army struck “a Hamas site in southern Gaza, after some Palestinians launched flammable balloons.”

Israeli naval forces opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of Gaza City and the northern besieged Gaza Strip, on Wednesday morning.

A Ma'an reporter said that Israeli war boats simultaneously opened fire at Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip.

No injuries were reported.

Sources pointed out that shots were fired in the allowed fishing zone.

The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the buffer zone, as the authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.

The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land, and sea blockade for 10 years.

Dozens of Palestinians were injured on Tuesday when the Israeli occupation forces attacked peaceful protesters on the coast north of Gaza.

The Ministry of Health said that 20 Palestinians were injured by Israeli gunfire and tear gas bombs.

Gaza coast protests have been a major part of the Great March of Return launched on 30 March 2018.

Member of the Higher National Committee of the Great March of Return and Breaking the Siege Khaled Abu Helal said that the peaceful protests in the Gaza Strip will continue in all possible ways until they achieve their goals, mainly breaking the blockade.

The Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since the start of the border protests have launched several flotillas of dozens of vessels toward Israeli-controlled water in a bid to break the siege. All boats were intercepted and those on board were arrested by the Israeli navy.

At least seven Palestinians were injured by Israeli gunfire and dozens others choked on tear gas on Monday evening on Gaza border.

Local sources told the PIC that the Israeli occupation forces opened fire at the protesters marching on the border east of Gaza city, injuring seven of them, including a child.

The PIC reporter said that dozens of Palestinian youths gathered late on Monday near the border to take part in the night demonstrations which have become a major part of the Great March of Return.

The Great March of Return's night protests were halted in November after Israel had vowed to ease the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip for over 13 years by expanding the fishing zone, allowing Qatari financial aid into the enclave, and offering other facilities.

The demonstrations were resumed over a week ago since Israel showed no commitment to the understandings reached under the auspices of Egypt, Qatar, and the United Nations.

The Palestinian youths taking part in the night protests, who also call themselves "night confusion units", usually fly fire balloons and kites over the border fence, launch fireworks, and chant national songs during the night.

The night confusion units say that their goal is to confuse the Israeli soldiers stationed at the border and keep them on permanent alert.
